    Is the ice cream great tasting? Yes. Is it the best I have ever had? I would say top ten. Does the price match the goods you are getting? No. $12 for one pint of ice cream is way to much. Most premium brands come in at a lower price. Next the service was great, Greeted nicely, helped to find a flavor that was good then at the end it was rushed as another customer walked in. So was the service worth paying double? No, if I was getting scooped ice cream in a cone that’s made on site then yes I would expect to pay the higher price but not a pint of ice cream. In short great service but overpriced goods.

    I scream,  you scream,  we all scream for ice cream 🤣🤣🤣 jeni's ice cream of course! We finally made it to Jeni's Ice Cream and what a treat it was. We loved everything about the ice cream from the texture to the flavor and the longer lasting melting time. We ordered  a scoop of Darkest Chocolate and Pineapple Upside Down Cake ice cream. Both were delicious. If you've never tried jeni's ice cream, you really should, just make sure you take the time to savor the fragrance and flavor of the ice cream. We loved it so much we each took a pint home with us.

    VERY good ice cream. Not overly sweet, good variety and creamy. I had the upsidedown pineapple cake and butter cream almond toffee. You can taste the freshness. It's pretty pricey for ice cream is all I would say as a negative. A little over $6 for 2 small scoops.

    Love the ice cream here! The unique flavors and combinations. I don't know if it's only this location or bc of the pandemic, but other locations used to provide dried ice if you bought pints to take home.

    An artisan icecream shop with many many options to choose from, anything from the most decadent flavor to the most refreshing one for not a small price. I tried wildberry lavender and rainbow buttermilk frozen yogurt and coffee coconut. All were good and I can’t wait to go back for a special treat!

    I I would have never found this amazing ice cream place if I hadn’t visited Chicago. I love the chain, and the unique flavors. Their service is really nice, and the place is well decorated.They have a lot of variety in flavors and that topping options. Their salted butter waffle cone is amazing. I tired the Thai spiced version with coconut - really nice. Their double chocolate and salted peanut butter is the best though. They also have a few accessories and memorabilia that you can buy from the store. The seating is kind a limited but they have a group seating too.

    As a neighbor and a real luxury estate broker who sells homes in Southport Corridor, my family and I love Jeni’s! My children grew up enjoying her exotic and often colorful flavors. Our all time favorites include lemon buttermilk and wildbery lavender. Enjoy!🍦

    There is something for everyone at Jeni's. They have inventive seasonal flavors, tried and true favorites, and even delicious sorbets for those that cannot have dairy. Plus, ordering is a breeze with their 2 half scoops for $5. The perfect amount of ice cream for any time of the day. The only downside is that this specific location has only one small upholstered seating area that is low. If you're visiting with small children that cannot safely sit at bar height, and that area is taken, you may have to stand or take your ice cream to go.

    Great ice cream great services, lots of flavors. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because value matters and you don't get a ton for the price unless you buy a tub.

    Jeni's Ice Cream is a true delight! Their unique flavors are a taste sensation. The ice cream's texture is incredibly creamy and smooth. Each scoop feels like a little moment of happiness. The shop's ambiance is welcoming and inviting. I love their commitment to using high-quality and ethically sourced ingredients. It's a must-visit for any ice cream lover. Jeni's has earned its reputation for excellence, and I'll definitely be back for more!

    I have been going to this certain Jeni’s since I was a little kid. And by far it is one of the best ice cream shops I have been to. The flavors will make your mouth water (very delicious.) The staff is always very kind and welcoming. They have never gotten one of our orders wrong. They have options for everyone as well. They tend to come up with the most unique flavors and can make them taste so good. Some of the best flavors that I recommend are Wildberry Lavender, Salted Peanut Butter with chocolate flecks, bramble berry crisp. To me Jeni’s is right up there with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, and possibly even better. Their pints can last more than 2 weeks in a freezer and still when you open it up will still taste just like it did when you got it. Recommend for people visiting and for locals!

    Ordered the Gooey Butter Cake and Brambleberry ice cream. The Gooey Butter Cake was one of the best ice creams I have ever had in my life. My date got the Wedding Cake, Almond Brittle and Wildberry Lavender. She didn't like the Wildberry so she Karen-ed it and got a new flavor lol.

    The Texas cheese cake ice cream is really sweet for my taste. But the coffee with sugar and cream was just perfect. The price is not bad around $8.50 for two scoops in a waffle cone. The employee are really friendly and professional (I tasted like 3 different ice cream before choosing).

    Cool little spot right under the train. The colorful furniture around the building make it very easy to spot. Very straightforward shop. Try the flavors(so many awesome ones to try) from one of the helpful and friendly staff, get 2 scoops , and pick what you want to eat it in. Highly prefer their waffle cones. Made in shop right in front of you!

    I always wondered why are they open here until late at night, until I had to respond to my cravings out of the sudden at 10pm as well. And I loved it. Wide selection of vegan, non-dairy ice creams as well, that made me very happy!

  • 4/5 Maria G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love y’all but getting disappointed in the serving size for the price. There are SO many great ice cream places in the city that have the unique flavors with better pricing. Still good ice cream. Just give me that heavy handed scoop please (;

    The scoops they gave us are embarrassment!! So, do the night workers give you a smaller portion or what?! Gonna try another location and see if there’s a difference otherwise for ice cream crave will have to look elsewhere. I wished I had taken a picture, such small scoops and so expensive.
